A family affair

Family, friends, and fun. I was fortunate enough to spend time with my sister from Atlanta and cousins from L.A. When all of us are together there is a never a dull moment, constant laughing, ongoing jokes, and you can never forget the family dinners. It was good to be able to just see one another. During these few days we have seen a few movies most notably "The girl with the dragon tattoo". Just to be around family made my break complete and always a time to remember and will always be my favorite time of year.

What does it take: The ingredients of an intern.

Key Qualities of an intern:

• Reliable. 
• Eager to learn.
• Be assertive.
• Quality work on time.
• Be charismatic 
• Apply feedback
• Communication

As an intern strive to do your est each and everyday. Come prepared as well as confident you can complete each task at hand with great results. Since being an intern is like an interview in it self, show up early, if not on time. Being organized is also a big thing that an intern should take in, this characteristics shows preparation. Setting up your work station when you get there is a part of being prepared. If you are at work early, you give yourself the chance to turn in projects a little early (after revision). Ask for help at the start of the day so others are given ample time to accommodate your needs and help you. Be hungry and eager to learn and show everyday that you belong there. Being an intern is a great chance to grow and show you can be an asset to a company.

The Workout.

The job I came across that I really enjoyed that I felt really passionate about was working at a gym in high school as a gym assistant. My job title was exactly what I did, most of my day consisted of cleaning helping in classes filing papers signing people in and lastly just being a utility to others. I loved this job because of the people around me they made it fun loving and being around supportive people in sports oriented place was a cool thing to me, and in my free time I was able to play basketball with people there or even use the pool, it was my place of enjoyment but also employment. I developed skills of working with other filling free time with work not just play and I was able to learn how to fill out time sheets and file paper and organize them on the computer. I learned that I am a person that brought joy to others ion the work place and given a task I will do my best to get it done and I learned how to schedule things so my operations will run much smoother. I feel that these attributes will serve me in my internship because everything I learned there I have progressed on and it was good to have that foundation to build on going forward in my work and also my career.  It was a pleasure to work there and I learned how to use myself in a workplace and be an asset.
